Ken Block Hoonitron v Audi R8 GT v RS e-tron GT: DRAG RACE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2023
- Mat’s lining up in the absolutely incredible Audi S1 Hoonitron, and he’s about to go head-to-head against an Audi RS e-tron GT and an Audi R8 GT!
So let’s see how these three incredible Audis stack up. Starting with the S1 Hoonitron, it’s a car you would normally expect to see smashing out doughnuts rather than running in a straight line! However, it can still pack a mighty punch, with its two electric motors delivering 680hp and 640Nm of torque! What’s more, even though it’s packing a 50kWh battery, it’s still fairly light, weighing in at 1,620kg.
In comparison, the RS e-tron GT is packing an 84kWh battery, and it tips the scales at 2,345kg! However, just like the Hoonitron, it also has two electric motors, and these combine to put down 646hpp and 830Nm.
Then finally we have the R8 GT. It comes equipped with a glorious 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can produce 620hp and 565Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed gearbox, and it’s the lightest car here, tipping the scales at 1,570kg.
So how do you think this one will play out? Will the Hoonitron leave the other two in its wake? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

It was a real privilidge to drive Ken Block's car! R.I.P.
Make the drop of the hands timing more random!! It’s no longer reaction
😢
Sucks
@@additive111 Uh, NO - do NOT do this - we care about how fast the cars are NOT the reaction, this isn't driver vs driver it's car vs car - so this format is PERFECT for it, hell the Hoonigan boys need to learn from you guys!!
Nice
Mad respect to Audi for organizing this!
Sad that they are so bad to drive..
respect? they blatantly had the guy in the R8 short shift and come off the gas. Watch again with the volume up. The R8 rolls over the quarter its obvious on the second one. Never trust events organised by Audi or BMW they have been caught faking many outcomes. BMW got numerous programmes like 5th gear to fake a race between a 1m and an s1000rr where it made it look like the car could hang with the bike. It is widely regarded as the biggest fake race in history.
@@logitechg5604 It depends. Whenever I drive from Poland to The Netherlands, I love my friends' 3.0 biTDI A6 (autobahn) But anywhere else, I prefer my 2021 BMW 330i.
Audi understeers a lot, sadly.
@@logitechg5604Depends on the model. Don’t know what you drove but alot are really nice
@@VadimC1199no they arent. VAG cars dont drive well even the newer electric steering porkers arent that great to drive now go look on the porsche owners club they guys own them all so know exacly whats what. Porker guys were worried that the VAGness creeped in to far when they announced the electric steering, surely enough they've been proven right and its not even a debate on there now. If its not debatable on there then its certainly not on here with a bunch of folk who dont own them. Audi handling is wooden even the models they enduced the chassis oversteer in like earlier R8s and some of the newer models with the drift nonsense on them are nervous as it gets on the transition. The rest just understeer into a wall for no reason. Thats Audi in a nutshell.
Dindo seems like a really chill guy. I love his positive attitude. And obviously R.I.P to the legend Ken. Matt had to be thrilled sitting in the same seat ken did.
Matt: rev your car Sebastian
Sebastian: proceeds to give a speech on emotions
Dindo's smile at 11:12 when he finally gets past the Audi RS e-tron is everything for me
The Audi RS E TRON also lovely to look at like the Mazda 767B from Shioriko Mifune.
He is pretty sir ngl
Naughty smile. 😂😂
Hahah yeah😂
When I first saw Dindo I actually thought it was Jason Plato, they look pretty similar
RIP KEN, No way the Hoonitron doesnt take it
Haven't watched the video yet but I wouldn't be so sure., drift cars are usually poor in straight lines.
dude shut up
that hoonitron is cursed man. ken drove it and dead. now matt is driving it 😥
@@kennethluff4736more hp and much much lighter what are you on about 💀
@@Peaceiscoming669don’t be so ridiculous!
That Hoonitron sounds like a fighter jet going into space!
What a car! The sheer acceleration - but breaking looked tricky 😂
Sounds like a fuckin hoover
@@minter261 If my hoover had that much power I don't think I'd have a floor left 😂
@TechBaffle all that power ...all that torque
...no soul...no smell......never will it be motorsport
@@minter261hahahaha - you mean no inefficient exploding fuel sound that car designers have spent a century trying to isolate the driver from? ;)
Let me guess, you've never driven an EV?
It's different
Just like a jet engine is different to an ICE - not better just different
So in the Video of Jean Pierre Kraemer a Engineering of Audi said that the Hoonitron puts up around 3000nm of torque per axle, so the car has around 6000nm combined. Also the axles can twist 180 Degrees. That because of the difference between full throttle and like the wheels going backwards
The paintjob on the Hoonitron is insane. Looks like it's game graphics.
Yeah,Some rocket league cars
@@rajputsunil007rocket league isn't realistic, the cars doesn't look like real life, I would have compare that to some open world car games.
It’s probably a wrap, but I see what you mean
@@rajputsunil007or more like Forza Horizon 3 Blizzard Mountain graphics. 😂
@@Mushroomancerseems like Hoonitron had tons of nice touches on.
That Hoonitron doesn't want to lightly kill you, it wants to viciously kill you, as Ken once said
Setsuna Yuki also said that once.
Pretty sure that was the hoonicorn but I'd imagine it's close
@@greeezysnoblin6636 yeah but here we're talking about the Hoonitron
It's like cocaine bear in a vehicle lol
Looks like all three of you had fun and I enjoyed every second. Bloody well right. Thanks.
Really loving the drone footage in this video, you can maybe do more of those with shots from the top at the finish lines etc?
RIP Ken block 😔
Selber schuld
😢
RIP

What?!!!

Thanks to Audi for letting us feature on this event. The S1 Hoonitron is crazy. I'll take that R8 GT thank you ☺
a real man right there
Same; that thing looks sick. I really love the wheels (although that’s not the only reason).
The s1 has 6000Nm .
V10.. Breaths air, burns petrol /gasoline, makes fire.. It's a yes
this race was a ruse. The TT was short shifting and coming off the gas. It was rolling over the finish line on the second race. Not cool.
It was one of those races that I could tell you the outcome without watching it but at the same time I was still stoked to see it😂🤙
Matt has the enviable privilege of driving some amazing rare cars
No doubt.
Not sure this couldn't as one tbh
I love how appreciative he is
@@Daniel-zh6wv I already do
I know
Carwow is steadily becoming the drag race standard for the car world.
You guys have come a long way from racing Yianni's wrapped lambos. Keep up the good work.
Never stop
Between carwow and officially gassed all bases are covered
@@Daniel-zh6wvwhat is wrong with you?
I think you didn't see Hagerty drag races. Their production quality is insane.
Fax been nice seeing the channel grow
@@AwaisRao789 I also watch their drag races. I like their approach. The production quality and graphics is top tier.
But carwow put together better and crazier races with even more crazier cars.
Watching the HOONITRON Rip was amazing! One of the best episodes yet!
It still hurts, but love to see his influence continues onward. R.I.P. Thanks for these races Matt!!!
That was the most german answer he could have given to the engine sound question :D
Amin.
I'm german myself and I cringed hard
@@Cansisloldefinitely more cringey to make the noises
@@chaphammersmith9540didn’t ask him to do anything difficult, just asked him to act like a kid for a moment and lighten up the mood. Avoiding the question was more cringe imo
@@colby100 Maybe he's just uncomfortable doing it? Don't force a grown up man to make engine noises, nothing wrong with him trying to avoid it 😇
So glad Ken got involved with Audi before his untimely death. That's a very cool car. Miss you Ken!!
Hoonitron S1, V12 LMR from Ai Miyashita, 767B and 787B from Shioriko Mifune and Toyota TS040 Hybrid are some of the most gorgeous looking cars ever.
This is crazy that you were able to get this car on your channel. I wish we could have seen the plans that Audi and Ken had in the future
Great drag race!
Rate this drag race line-up out of 10!
We need a Hyundai Getz on this channel day 258

Because of the Gearing from E-motor to wheel, the hoonitron actually has 3000Nm per axle. Source: JP Performance GmbH
R8 has 5760Nm
@@MaviHomeactually no
@@MaviHomeutter nonsense. And the helicopter from Airwolf can't fly supersonic.

English: And because of this Torque, this car under the direction of Jean Pierre Krämer (owner of JP Performance GmbH) also likes to destroy four wheels in under five minutes :D
the last videos amazing 🤩👏
Once in a while I remember the beginnings of Carwow. I‘m here since the very first video. What a journey this has been - crazy😂
Rip Ken Block We Will miss you Legend thanks for making these cars for us
Setsuna Yuki also a big fan of Ken Block. She's still heartbroken for sure.
Love the new camera angles at 6:57 and 8:04. Immediately noticed them.
Fantastic video!
You guys have been killing it with the content lately, 👏
Mat: I really want you to make a car engine sound…
Sebastian: We designed a special engi-
Mat: MAKE THE SOUND
we are so emosionaly attached to se car sound of sis electric car!!!
Lol!!! “Do the Rawr”…
That's what we call excuses lol
Still hard thinking Ken is gone but he's teaching the Hooning style in the big sky.
That reads pretty, but as much as I liked him as a person, Ken ain't teaching no one anything in no big sky. Sadly, he is probably learning that the time he should've spent preparing for eternity he wasted it hooning.
@@jesuschristiscallingyou953Amen🙏🏼 **Jesus is Real**
@@jesuschristiscallingyou953 wtf does that even means "preparing for eternity"
All these cars are incredible and very quick!!
Matt you're a superstar. Nice production.
RIP Ken, you'll forever be an icon in the car community
Setsuna Yuki and Ayumu Uehara are also a big fan of KB43 (KEN BLOCK).
The S1 Hoonitron is no joke. It launches like a slingshot and completes the quarter mile with a time similar to the Porche 911 Turbo S which is just in 10.1 seconds. I definitely wasn't expecting this.
Yep. It also accelerated on par with 1000bhp RX7 and Delta S4 WRC 1985.
the 911 turbo s doesnt finish the quarter mile in 10.1 seconds why are you lying
@@johnstaker6706 it does
Do y’all remember which cars were sub 10 from this channel. Now I wanna rewatch to check. Someone should make a list
@@johnstaker6706Well actually it does and i am not lying. But let me know how much time you think the porche will finish the quarter mile.
How can you not enjoy this video man
Well done to Audi Sport for being right sports and a fun bunch to set this up!! 🥂👍
That little drone shot at 8:04 was awesome, a small but welcome cut!
dindo seems like such a sweet guy, i hope to see him in more races
dindo is the "official" audi driver for the hoonitron now, you wont see him in any carwow races, but if you see content around this car, he will be there i think ;)
very good drag race of these three audis.
Great video
Carwow is not missing with these drag races
What a line up🔥🔥🔥🔥
What about a drag race between Aston Martin AMR21 vs Delta S4 WRC vs Ford GT90?
The sound of the Hoonitron is amazing
Sounds like a vacuum cleaner🤨
I thought it was extremely annoying
@@MS-we4wiand an ice sounds like a tractor
@@problemchild1976 clueless kid
@@MS-we4wi says mr "vacuum cleaner"
The sound of a gas turbine on reheat pushing out 27,000lbf of thrust makes your puny little ice engine sound worse than a tractor ;)
The sound of that car was amazing, I can listen to that all day 😂
Loved the vid and your brake test made me laugh . It was a bit more than sketchy ha ha .
Carwow isn't a review but an entertainment channel at this point which is a HUGE PLUS
Well, out of the 3, I'd rather be inside R8 GT hearing that glorious V10. The sound of the Hoonitron reminds of a bad time at the dentist.
The video organized by Audi was kind of a marketing strategy boosting their EVs lineup. That's why when Mat tries to make him do an engine sound, the guy starts explaining that EVs are emotional and so on. Also probably that's why they didn't bring a quattro V10 (not convertible) and just use the rear wheel drive version, and maybe also that's why that car loose the break test... (it was strange, here it wins ua-cam.com/video/Al5LbwMeN2Q/v-deo.html )
Thank you Ken Block for bringing so much Joy and inspiration to this world. You will be forever missed and never forgotten ❤
Thanks again Audi and Sebastián and carwow too ❤ 💯 RESPECT KEN BLOCK
Amazing drag race.. Sebastian kept his crap together and did not yield to your request of self humiliation😂.. You are currently bringing your content to a whole new level Mat..
best hope the wokist TonyStark guy in the other comments doesnt see this and disgrace this thread as well by insulting dead racing drivers who never harmed nobody.
No doubt.
Nah, sounded like a PR comment: “unique electric sound” blah, blah, blah.
@@jaycon6919exactly! Listening to him trying to convince people that electric cars have soul and emotions like petrol cars is a sham.
Seb was full of PR bulls#**
When Mat starts making that excited giggling noise, you know he’s having a great time. 🏎️
I always enjoyed that.
As the vid start i know its lit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think Ken deserved more recognition!! The guy is a legend and has done more for racing and car enthusiasts than any other driver, EVER!!! The entire skate and BMX community thank you too! DC shoes were like the Jordan's of our world!
I think Ken has a massive recognition. Just look around.
That S1 Hoonigan is a legend and a great concept, R.I.P. Ken 😥😥
Delta S4 WRC has some words for Hoonitron.
The Hoonitrons torque on the wheels is 3000NM per axle so combined 6000NM.
R8: 5760Nm
You need to explain this in full technical detail because this is just misleading information without technical correction comparison
@@Pertev777The torque of the motor itself is around 640NM but then it is spinning around 35000 1/min. Of course you can't drive with 35000 1/min, so there is gearbox that lowers the RPM and rises the torque from 640NM per axle to 3000NM.
@@inflash_vrtx3781 exactly. Don't forget that other sports cars also has extreme high torque figures in the first gear. For example, I'm telling this for 8 time, the 918 Spyder has a torque of over 11000Nm in the first gear
@@Pertev777 yes of course, but the hoonitron has this torque for a lot more time and rpm
Matt's my favorite presenter/reviewer right now. He is naturally funny. Would love to see him pal around with Clarkson, May, and Hammond. That would be a riot.
Your sitting in one of most important cars for the car community we may not realise it yet, but this is extremely important
Now this is gonna be a big video 🎉 love the consistency 😅
You should have included Ken Block's old Hoonigan, the white double turbo Mustang.
I bet it would have won this drag easily and that Mustang was just epic.
A mustang in an audi only race? Nuh uh
@@NoName-ew4rqHe means the hoonicorn. Kens most famous car.
@@Miki2305. still a mustang
Matt why were you talking like that when introducing the cars?? 😂😂 very soothing 😌
I have actually enjoyed watching Matt do some Drifting in various cars the start of the videos to warm up the tires, I have more respect for his ability behind the wheel knowing he is more than a straight line specialist who never turns off the traction control.
Wouldn't mind seeing some Drifting challenges at the start as a part of the show to display the cars capabilities a bit more.
The Hoonitron just looks absolutely epic, it's a great homage to the Quattro S1 too.
Appreciate the effort it takes for Matt to pull these off
Agree.
I love the videos.. But It would be great if you can have a split screen showing speeds and revs
The Hoonitron sounds like the DeLorean from Back to the Future. I half expected the music to start playing 😂
He will never be forgotten by the car community 🔥😢
Karin Asaka and Setsuna Yuki both also a big fan of Ken Block's car community.
Even bikers community loved him
RIP Ken ❤, we will never forget you! Can’t wait to watch this awesome drag race
That whistle as it went by😂
The video you did not know you need to see. I just watched the JP Performance video lately and now it just added another wow one ;)
Something we didn’t know we needed! Thanks Matt! ❤
No problem thank you horse face
What an epic race guys ... 💪🏼
Add also WILLIAMS FW25.
Man. I haven’t seen Capello since he was running the r18’s. Glad to see he’s still got it
You are the best. Respect
This content never tires me! It’s just too good
Definitely wanna see that R8 GT vs a 2012 R8 GT to see the differences in generation.
What a surprise this was hell yeah
First time seeing any of these cars 🤯
That Hoonitron is an absolute beast! Love that car
Before the race: they don’t have a chance against the Hoonitron.
After the race: confirmed
Carwow on fire right now 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Audi Sport + Sebastian + Dindo.. QUALITY CONTENT
Press F to pay respect Ken Block’s legacy…
F
F makes the vid full screen haha
Me too pressing F.

The amount of time and effort carwow puts into his videos is insane
This man never disappoints
mat isnt the owner of carwow, but he has stock in the company
big youtube channels are like real TV they nomally have a whole production of professionals
@@declanwhiteagree. Its amazing.
@@declanwhiteis carwow a publicly traded company?
@@declanwhitehe founded the UA-cam channel and he is the chief content officer also like you said he has share in the company
yes mat get in ! bloody nice one! good skids in the hoonitron!
im sure KB would be pleased
Matt became THE guy anybody would give any car to! Love Carwow!!!
Yes I agree R.I.P Mr. Block. My dearest condolences to his family. Another fact…Audi definitely already knows the results to this match 🇩🇪.
Props for Hoonigan industries to let Matt drive the crazy car.
Setsuna Yuki also ever driven one of the Ken Block's cars before.
I'm missing the Model S Plaid in this line-up as a yardstick :D Seen so many drag races with it, it has become sort of a reference point :D.
Dindo's shifting is on point & precise love it just shows the experience of a professional race driver!! Come on carwow👊🏻
RIP Ken, you were a legend to us 😔
No problem Thank you
It was great to see the Hoonitron on the show finally but I think it wouldve been cool to see Lia race it
Love this one! Huge audi fan 💪🏾
Block really did love his cars fast ..... another masterpiece from Matt
Ken Block Forever a Legend in our hearts!
Carwow + Mat Watson, never disappoints with content + consistency is on point. 👍🏾
Correction - Mat Watson IS carwow
I heard in an interview (with jp performance) because the motor is spinning fast af (high rpm) and because of the gearing it adds up 3000nm of torque per axle at the wheels, the 680nm is motor output.
I like the tone of your voice in this video, nice change
Carwows drag races just keep getting better and better
